Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank @ the Cabooze 12/28







Having recently returned from a trip out west opening for Trampled by Turtles that reportedly saw a great many full houses, The Hobo Nephews of Uncle Frank were in prime shape for a late December Sunday night show at the Cabooze. After a nice opening set from the Pistol Whippin Party Penguins, the place had a great crowd ready for some rock. Brothers Ian and Teague Alexy were joined by sometimes drummer Paul Grill for an energetic set that brought us favorites like "2010", "Holyoke" and "Minnesota Song".
(I just noticed that the version of that tune on Myspace boasts guest Marco Benevento doing some big time piano work.

Guest fiddler Ryan Young (of TBT and Pert Near Sandstone) joined for a few songs and incited more feverish grooving on the dance floor. These guys always throw down and put on a great show. You can catch them on Feb 14th along with TBT and Two Many Banjos at the Cabooze in what will surely be a sold out show and a hootin Happy Valentines Day.
